UNSPSC 50425601: Dried long white potatoes

The variety of potatoes known as long white potatoes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50425601 Dried long white potatoes is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure dried legumes and institutional food staples for correctional facilities, child-care programs, and state agencies. Recent solicitations filed under this code show significant mismatch — the actual postings span dried kidney beans, black beans, pinto and red beans, and mixed cafeteria food products for institutional meal service, rather than dried white potatoes specifically. The issuing bodies are state correctional departments and agricultural purchasing offices, municipal child-care authorities, and statewide procurement divisions on behalf of state criminal justice agencies. Work under the code centers on bulk dried legumes meeting USDA or equivalent grading standards, triple-cleaned to institutional specifications, with compliance to FDA, HACCP, and current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements and delivery to central distribution points or institutional kitchens on FOB destination terms with all freight and handling included in pricing.

Activity appears concentrated in Oregon and Georgia, with secondary solicitations from Texas and Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB on June 5, 2026, for approximately 42,500 pounds of dried pinto and red beans (due June 19, 2026) with a 10% evaluation preference (5% for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders) and a historical incumbent price of $0.493 per pound; the State of Oregon posted a separate bid for dried black beans on August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026). Georgia Correctional Industries issued an RFQ on October 2, 2026, for kidney beans in 880-bag increments (due October 9, 2026) with strict specification-sheet compliance requirements and electronic PDF submission. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products covering 382 line items including dried legumes across five geographic warehouse areas (due May 4, 2026 after extension via Addendum No. 2, with pre-bid conference March 26, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, solicited food and nonfood items for a Child and Adult Care Food Program serving 400 children daily under RFP 2026-017 (due August 4, 2026) with Texas local-vendor preference applying within 5% of the lowest bid price. The State of Illinois posted a quarterly food-order bid for the July-September period (due June 26, 2026) with no contract value disclosed. Code activity shows low volume and irregular posting patterns with primary buyers in corrections and state agencies; no cooperative purchasing vehicles or standout repeat buyers are evident in the recent record.
